Care Tips:
- Place in a location with bright, indirect light to promote healthy growth and vibrant foliage color. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
- Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.
- Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
- Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength.
- Prune as needed to maintain the desired shape and size, and to remove any yellowing or damaged leaves.
- Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth occasionally to remove dust and keep them looking healthy.
